What type of mic works best with Alchemy?

[Zoid Eve]

I'm doing live digital painting this Saturday and want to try it with Alchemy.
Those of you who have done live art with Alchemy ,chat kind of mic did you use or would recommend?

Thanks!

It depends on what sound you're inputting. For the recording I did below I had it listening directly to iTunes rather than listening to the mac book pro's onboard mic. If you're VJing and can get a direct audio input from the dj (if possible). If not then I guess the next best would be a cardiod directional (shotgun) mic pointed at a speaker. But I guess what ever you do you don't want to slow down the rate that it hears the music in order to keep sync.

Good luck.
